1. Overload noise
2. Random noise.
3. Granular noise.
4. Hunting noise
ECE 1
1. Overload noise: The level of the analog waveform at the input of
the PCM encoder needs to be set so that its peak level does not
exceed the design peak of V volts. If the peak input does exceed V,
then the recovered analog waveform at the output of the PCM system
will have flat-tops near the peak values. This produces Overload noise.
ECE 2
3. Granular noise: If the input level is reduced further to a relatively
small value with respect to the design level, the error values are not
equally likely from sample to sample, and the noise has a harsh sound
resembling gravel being poured into a barrel. This is called granular
noise.
ECE 3
4. Hunting noise: It can occur when the input analog waveform is
nearly constant , including when there is no signal (i. e. 0 level). For
these conditions, the sample values at the quantizer output can
between 2 adjacent quantization levels, causing an undesired
sinusoidal type tone of frequency fs/2 at the output PCM system.
For no signal case, it is also called idle channel noise which can be
reduced by using a horizontal step at the origin of the quantizer
output-input characteristics instead of a vertical step .

SNR is an indication of the quality of the received signal. It can vary
widely depending on –

Digital signaling: The voltage (or current) waveforms for digital
signals can be expressed as an orthogonal series with a finite number of
terms, N such as
Where,
wk = The digital data
φk (t), k= 1, 2, ….N are N orthogonal functions that give the
waveform its waveshape.
N = Number of dimensions required to describe the waveform.
w(t) = A PCM word or any message of the M message digital
source.
ECE 12
Two types of signal are -
1. For the case when wks have binary values, n=N, w(t) is said to be
binary signal.
2. When the wks are assigned more than 2 possible values (i. e. not
binary), w(t) is said to be a multilevel signal.

The absolute BW if sin (x)/x pulse multilevel waveform, Fig 3-14b is
Thus each of these L=4 multilevel waveform has ½ the bandwidth of the
corresponding binary signal . In general, an L level multilevel signal would
have 1/l the BW .
